The first ever Lions Women's Tour!

The inaugural Howden Lions Women's Tour fixtures are official! The Tour will kick off in Whangārei on 4 September, and end with the final Test against the Black Ferns in the new One New Zealand Stadium in Christchurch on 25 September. Five cities have been chosen to showcase this historic rugby event, and alongside Whangārei and Christchurch, games will also be played in Auckland, Hamilton and Wellington. Across the five venues, Semenoff Stadium in Whangārei, Go Media Stadium in Auckland, FMG Stadium Waikato in Hamilton, Sky Stadium in Wellington and One NZ Stadium in Christchurch, over 124,000 fans will have the opportunity to see a Test or a tour game in person.
